Keep it up

By need2eat - 15/06/2009 15:48 - United States

Today, I saw my parents for the first time in 11 weeks. They commented on how much weight I lost. I told how due to stress, I hadn't been able to eat anything for the past two weeks and I was basically unintentionally starving myself. They told me to keep it up. FML

Maybe they weren't being totally serious? Either way, get on a healthy diet and start exercising. You'll thank yourself later in life when you're lean and healthy.

That's such a parental thing to say. My mom encouraged me to take diet pills when I was 12 and at a HEALTHY weight. I don't know why parents can be so judgmental about weight, my grandma is too. If I had kids, I would think they were beautiful no matter what, regardless of weight. And dear god, if they told me they were under a lot of stress I would help them immediately...I'm sorry your parents suck.

Well, i'll assume it's doing you some good. Sorry about the stress, i've had depression a lot lately as well. Just keep up with your current eating pattern once you're fine ;)

FYL dude for non-supportive parents :( I'm not gonna be a dick about your parents, because they're your parents, and even if they said those things, you probably don't appreciate other people calling your parents assholes and whatnot.

Parents are right, fat people - go be fat somewhere else!

It doesn't really sound like they were listening. You know, all they heard was blah, blah, blah... And then they just assumed that you had said you were on a healthy diet, so they said, "Keep it up!" They were trying to be all supportive and junk. So I guess you get to pick: either they were ignoring what you said, or they want you to starve yourself until you're skinny. Either way, FYL.

My parents did the same thing , like" well, whatever works for you!"

lmao @ 28 also this is a dumb FML. Yeah your parents were kind of assholes, but people say mean stuff all the time, and besides, you lost weight, you should be happy no?
